Information About Deposits to Your Firi Account

Depositing money into your Firi account

You can deposit your local currency into your Firi account by bank transfer or buy crypto directly using one of the payment methods available in your country.

How long does a bank deposit take?

Bank deposits normally arrive in your Firi account within 1–2 business days.

How quickly the funds arrive depends on factors such as when you make the deposit and how quickly your bank processes the transfer.

Deposits made before or during a weekend or on a public holiday may take longer, as banks normally only process transfers on business days.

In some cases, a deposit may also take longer if we're missing necessary information about the payment or if the deposit requires further review.

Always deposit from your own bank account

When depositing money into a personal Firi account, the payment must come from a bank account in your own name.

If you have a business account with Firi, the deposit must come from the company's bank account.

If a deposit comes from someone else's account, the payment may need to be returned. This can result in longer processing times.

Buy crypto instantly

If you don't want to wait for a bank transfer, you can buy crypto directly using one of the payment methods available to you.

Choose the cryptocurrency and the amount you want to buy, then select your preferred payment method. Before confirming your purchase, you'll see the current price and any applicable fees.

Your purchase is completed as soon as the payment has been approved.

How to avoid unnecessary delays

To help your deposit go as smoothly as possible, we recommend that you:

  • make the deposit from a bank account in your own name
  • check the payment details before completing the transfer
  • keep in mind that weekends and public holidays may increase processing times

Avoid sending money from someone else's bank account or from services where the payment cannot clearly be linked to you as the sender. These deposits may require additional processing or need to be returned.

If your deposit is taking longer than expected, you're always welcome to contact us.
